isnt that the sane option just keep the steam price higher than your own price and people would mostly prefer to buy directly to save money, then you get the exposure from steam but you can convert them to your platform.
- largepeepee 3y agoWell they are also discovering that many people would rather pay the 20-30% extra than deal with the hassle of a subpar platform. The cost to build/maintain a competent platform is also not cheap even for the big boys like EA.
- esrauch 3y agoI think there's some limit to that; Nintendo could sell the new Zelda for $250 on Steam and get some takers, but it won't make them more money just make them look greedy.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoI think Valve has a clause in the contract that says the price on other platforms should be as low as the price on steam at most. Otherwise everybody could just use Steam as advertising platform. Of course I have no idea how contracts for big companies work
